Wouldn't it be great if people made most submissions this way? There would be so much more meat!

We have a few folks who do. But the reality is, most people are posting from their phones, on the fly, to participate in the community and something small against the pedocracy. They want to participate, but they don't want to take on a research leadership role.

I wonder what would happen if instead of trying to get there by removing everything that doesn't meet that standard, we do something to reward the posts that do? Maybe give them a blue ribbon flair or something and sticky them for a few days. Positive reinforcement instead of negative? Just brainstorming.

I love that idea, actually.

And yeah, I'm pretty far removed from the situation, so while I might have a fresh eye for bullshit being pulled, I don't necessarily have my finger on the pulse.

Fuck, that's a good idea man.

Have a master list submission of all the blue-ribbon posts, too. When one gets flaired/stickied, it goes in that submission.

Is there really nobody that wants to gather all the disparate pieces of info and put them together in a multi-level grouping of comments linking to each other?
